aintnobiscuit Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thats weird, it doesn't seem like it should be coming out of the shifter hole like that. I don't have the clip in mine and nothing comes out (it's definitely full because i just changed it out). Granted I have a different trans than yours, I'm pretty sure this still shouldn't be happening. Are you consistently winding it out to 7k+ when driving around? Quote Link to comment

Topher88 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks! Went to the junk yard the other day to get te missing shifter lock ring that holds the shifter in. Also ordered a new boot from Nissan just to ensure no fluid escapes. I took out all the carpets and scrubbed them with dawn but they are still oily so now I might just get some new material and make my own off of the template.... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 2.5 quarts I thought the book said 2? Easy enough to find out if you just remove the fill plug and see if any comes out. I would also think it has too much in it... edit: Never mind. Looked in my S14 FSM and it says 2.65. Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I just filled it from the shifter hole. That fill plug is impossible to remove. I sat there with a breaker bar and a cheat and it didnt even budge Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Well my shifter never clipped into the shifter hole in the trans. It was annoying but never thought anything about it. After the dyno pulles I drove it home and went to bed woke up the next morning to a puddle coming from my passenger floor right next to the door... (Wtf?) so I open the door and my carpet is completely saturated in gear oil. Come to find out oil starts to burp out the shifter hole when you start to beat on it. Enough mannered to get out to saturate all of my carpets in the car. I took out the seats and cleaned off the metal and going to soak the carpets in warm water and dawn. So now I need to change the oil on the trans and find a KA 5 speed at the junk yard to jack the goodies off the shifter... wow car sounds sick but man that gear oil ...all summer long ......that sucks to have to smell...the only smell worse then gear oil is burnt gear oil.......so ur lucky, if having the floor saturated in gear oil, is lucky...that really sux ....but the good news.... your car is bad ass!!!!!x2 Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 It's so hot but I want to drive the Datsun so bad! Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Did you get most of the oil out bro? Btw, I dry fitted my champs with my car up on jacks and they poke bad. I hope they flush up when I put it back on the ground... Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I also cant figure out which lugs I like best. Opinion? Volk Formula Extended Lugs Or Project Kics R26 Neo Chrome Lugs Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Cars looking pretty good. I'd go with the Volk lugs 1 Quote Link to comment

Topher88 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Ya mine looked like there was no way they were going to fit but as soon as the wheels got some weight on them they tucked in nice. I even have my adjustable crossmember all the way maxed out so i have the least amount of camber and I still tuck nicely but I did cut out all the inbred fender and lip. I got most of the oil out but there is still oil saturated in it... I might use those for a template to make my own. We will see 1 Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm hoping the compression curve is enough. If they dont fit, I want to figure out how my rear end differs from yours. Cause your rear champs are 15x7 -1 also. What tires do you have again? Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I have 195. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I have 195. 195 what? 45? 50? 55? They do not look too low profile.... Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 55. I want 45's next Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 55. I want 45's next For fitment or just lower profile handling? Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I lied I have 50 series tires Quote Link to comment
